BARBERS POINT, Hawaii A Coast Guard C-130 aircraft based out of Barbers Point, Hawaii, air-deploys 10 profiling floats on June 26-27 in support of the Rim of the Pacific Exercise (RIMPAC). Profiling floats collect conductivity, temperature and pressure data on an established schedule. These profiles are assimilated by ocean models, used to quality-control ocean model forecasts, and are placed in real-time and long term databases. Exercise participants benefit by having the most up-to-date depiction of the ocean environment via ocean model outputs. RIMPAC, held biennially in Hawaii, is th
